The Devil's Sweetheart

There is a rule of magic. Don't let anyone know your name because names hold power. Neither Nick nor Leena heard the four names Andrea mentioned, but that doesn't mean the three don't have any involvement. Directly or indirectly, they have contributed to the accident if she was not wrong.

''How long have you been visiting the Red-light district?'' Quizzed, Leena.

''Since two years.'' Replied Andrea. She is married to Robert for three years but utterly dissatisfied with the quality of their sex life. It was her sexual frustration that led her to discover the place of pleasure.

''Two years is pretty long! You are covering up way conscientiously from your husband, Miss Smith.'' Leena's mocking tone caused an embarrassment to Andrea. ''How did you meet the four people?''

''W_hat if you give the video to my husband once I tell the truth?'' Andrea questioned. Until she gets a guarantee, she decided not to open her mouth.

''I am least interested in your afternoon delights. Once you are of no use, I will delete your videos. I can assure you with this.'' Ensured Leena. ''So, tell me everything you talk with them. Anything you remember, for that matter.''

Andrea turned to Nick and then stared at Leena with an awkward silence. Andrea could explain it to the woman sitting in front of her because she is a woman, but she finds it a little uncomfortable talking about her sex life in front of a stranger man.

''You have got nothing to be ashamed of, Miss Andrea Smith,'' Nick added, suppressing his smile. ''You should have had the conscience when you did it in the first place.''

''I don't have time to sit and watch your awkward face,'' Leena scorned, glancing at her wristwatch. ''Your husband may come at any time. Do you want him to know your hanky-panky carryings?''

''Please no.'' Andrea beseeched. ''I will tell everything I remember.''

''That's what I have been asking. Go ahead.'' Remarked Leena.

Taking a deep breath, Andrea started. ''In the Red-light district, we have several bars and nightclubs with women and men milling around. I visit the place regularly to have sex.''

''Since you are asking for the past month, I will start from there. One and half months back, I met James in the regular nightclub I visited, and we hooked up instantly. He doesn't talk much while having sex, but he often complains about his wife's temper after our copulation. A week later, James introduced his friend Charles. He is an easy-going person. Somedays, we do it individually, and sometimes, we go for a threesome.'' Andrea patiently explained the conversations that happened between the three of them.

Nick and Leena covered their mouth to stop themselves from laughing as Andrea narrated the story. Great satisfaction indeed comes from sharing with others.

Andrea clutched her hands over the dress tightly in fit. She knew they are mocking, but Andrea has no choice except to keep her anger in check and blurt out the truth. Humiliation in front of strangers is better than dying in the hands of her husband.

''What about the other two?'' Leena questioned. She didnot find anything suspicious about James and Charles suspicious, but she has to meet them.

''L_idiya is a married woman.'' Biting her bottom lip, Andrea continued. ''We got attracted to each other_''

''Wait!'' Nick stopped Andrea all of a sudden. ''You do it with women also?''

''Can you stop with your questions,'' Leena shot a glare at Nick. She could feel Andrea aversed already, and this cartoon is simply throwing salt to the wound. Turning to Andrea, Leena urged her to continue. ''What do Lydia talks with you?''

''Lidiya's husband has a low sex drive, just like my husband. It might be because we are in the same boat; we grew physically and emotionally close. I shared my secrets, including...my profession and the company I work for. Lidiya often asks about our CEO and his other personal stuff.''

Nick widened his eyes, to which Leena silently shook his head, not to open his mouth until the end.

''And the last person?'' Leena interrogated. 

''His name is Nash. Two weeks back, Lidiya brought a friend and introduced him as Nash.'' Andrea continued. ''People come to the red-light district with only one purpose, to have sex. So, I did with him.''

''He talks very sweetly, and the next time he came, I introduced James and Charles,'' Andrea said. ''Nash suggested trying Fivesome. Since Lydia and I didnot experience with five people, we said okay to it.''

Leena's head started spinning. How horny is this woman to do a Fivesome! So the secret indeed spilled behind closed doors. ''Listen to me carefully, Andrea.'' Getting down from the sofa, Leena squatted in front of the woman. ''Did any one of the five bring your company CEO's topic again? Think carefully.''

''I_I think so,'' Andrea admitted. She was confident, CEO Wang Devin's name surfaced again on that day.

''Who is it?'' Leena's tone was urgent and desperate. She is close, very close to the truth.

''It might be Lydia or Nash because only two are interested in my affairs.''

''By chance, did they ask you about CEO's business trips. Think carefully and answer.''

Andrea gulped hard. She vaguely remembered someone talking about her company CEO's personals, but in her sheer pleasure with having five people around her, she doesn't remember who exactly it is.

''Who is that person!'' Leena demanded. ''Is it Lydia or Nash?''

''I_I don't remember because_'' Andrea nervously bit her lip. She was multitasking and also in flimsy pleasure to think about trivial matters at that time. 

''Fine. Are you still in contact with them?'' 

''Sometimes, but I don't know when they would be back because we don't share contact numbers.''

Leena chuckled in delight. The culprit is one among the five people. It was a trap set by Nash or Lydia to pull out Devin's information from Andrea, and this dumb woman fell for it. Grabbing the mobile from the table, Leena remarked ''I am not going to delete the video. I will contact you again tomorrow.

''You promised_''

''Correction, if you are no use.'' Leena corrected her. Before she took a further step, Leena glanced at Andrea across her shoulders. ''By the way, expect a termination letter from WD for breaching the company policies.''

Terror struck Andrea like a shot. Andrea knew she breached the company policy, but who the hell is this woman to make orders? ''W_ho are you?'' 

''Mrs. Wang.'' Leena strolled out of the house without sparing a glance at Andrea.

Andrea covered her mouth and slumped on the floor in a crying mess.

....

''I think it's Lydia. What are your thoughts?'' Nick shared his opinion.

''I will have to meet them before commenting.'' Leena retorted. Suggesting Fivesome sex was to bring Andrea into the trap. She is too tired to make a decision today. For now, Leena's only thought was to see Devin. ''Drop me at the hospital, Nick.''

''Alright.'' Nick sped up the car to the hospital.

Leena stepped out of the car and rushed to the top floor. The moment she pushed open the door, she could see Devin's gloomy expressions directing towards her. ''Are you angry at me?'' Leena walked towards him and tried to kiss Devin's lips, but he turned to his left, causing it to land on his right cheek.

''You still remember me?'' Devin scoffed without looking at Leena. ''Is it because I am a patient, you don't want to_''

''Mr. Wang, I am flattered with your acting. I understand, you can easily topple the Korean female leads of tragedy stories. But I suggest you stop.'' Leena interrupted and grabbed Devin's face. Instantly both burst out into laughter. ''Acting apart, I missed you.'' Devin embraced Leena and kissed her top. 

''I missed you too.'' She embraced his body lightly, considering his wound.

''How did it go?'' A while ago, Leena texted about Andrea spilling about his business secrets. It was not a surprise, but still, Devin can't believe Leena pulled a breakthrough in just one day. 

''We are close.'' She said. 

''Had your dinner?'' Devin did not probe much because Leena needs rest after all the tiring activities.

''Not yet. Aunt Eve texted, and she is bringing.'' Placing her head on Devin's shoulder, she relaxed, and let the night pass, waiting for tomorrow morning. 

...

The following day, Nick was utterly scared when Leena thought of hacking into the Government database directly to get the information about those five sex maniacs. Just because she is a hacker, she is trying to control the whole world with a click of a button. He thought.

''I called Kurt, and he will collect all the information and bring it to you. Please don't hack into the database, fine?'' Nick pleaded.

''Alright.'' Although Leena badly wanted to enter the database again, she doesn't want the Swedish butler to curse at her.

By evening, Kurt presented the hundreds of James, Charles, Lydia, and Nash. Since they are not aware of surnames, Andrea helped them identify the five persons through their pictures.

....

Inside an old building...

''Who the hell are you to bring me here?'' A man screamed, looking at the two people who have seized him. ''I don't know why you brought me here? I have nothing to give it to you.''

''Is it? Let's see, if you have nothing to give or we have something to take, Mr. Nash Rivett.''

Nash widened his eyes in shock as he watched the person walking into the room. Kurt? Did he know? But how?
